This patch removes forcedconstant to simplify things for the
move to ValueLattice, which includes constant ranges, but no
forced constants.
This patch removes forcedconstant and changes ResolvedUndefsIn
to mark instructions with unknown operands as overdefined. This
means we do not do simplifications based on undef directly in SCCP
any longer, but this seems to hardly come up in practice (see stats
below), presumably because InstCombine & others take care
of most of the relevant folds already.
It is still beneficial to keep ResolvedUndefIn, as it allows us delaying
going to overdefined until we propagated all known information.
I also built MultiSource, SPEC2000 and SPEC2006 and compared
sccp.IPNumInstRemoved and sccp.NumInstRemoved. It looks like the impact
is quite low:
